I might be heading up to Mackay in about a month or two for work and I was wondering if there are any other cyclist on BNE in the area. Are there any nice rides around the area and what is the traffic situation like. I might be up there for a month.

Dunno about angels... The place is full of uber-bogans with V8 utes that drive like the tools that they are..... The Habana loop is okay... But a lot of decent rides (length-wise) require a trip along the highway. Coming into Mackay from the north on the Bruce from the Leap isn't too bad a run though. The highway out to Nebo is okay too but rougher.

Try climbing the Eungella Range or Black Mtn if you're a little unhinged that way.
